EDMUNDs AND THE ELEVATOR.

Correspondent Uses the Senator's Private
Signal and Secures Prompt Service.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ga great deal Of sun
pressed wrath is visible in certain quarters be-
cause of the action of the Senate in ordering the
doors to be kept closed for ten minutes after each
secret session, in order to give Senators time to
leave the Capitol before the public is admitted to
the chamber. There are many persons who have
business with Senators, and who are unable to
get to the Capitol under ordinary circumstances
until late in the day. Under the new rule they
will invariably find the members of the upper
house locked up. Heretofore these visitors,
constituents, etc, have tarried until the doors
reopened, but now, under the new order Of
things, this would be a useless waste of time, as
Senator'S make haste to leave the chamber dur
ing the ten minutes the doors remain closed, and
when they are reopened the venerable Captain
Bassett anf his assistant, James Christy, are
about the only persons visible. Senator Ed
munds is credited with having proposed the new
arrangement. The Vermont statesman's eug-
gestons are invariably adopted.
